“Oregon has the highest percentage of expired state-issued [wastewater] permits nationwide. Most of the state-issued permits polluters operate under have long-passed their original expiration dates — in some cases by 20 years or more. This means these permit holders have to be in compliance only with laws that existed when their permits were written, not with current laws…according to DEQ’s current backlog count, 63 percent of existing state-issued permits for releasing stormwater and treated wastewater directly into streams and rivers are expired” – Underwater: Oregon’s agency responsible for monitoring waterway polluters is the most backlogged in the country

Lean and Green Quotes

"Manufacturers in every industry have a big responsibility to fulfill in ensuring a sound environment for future generations. Along with preventing pollution and other overt damage to the environment, they need to conserve resources by using material and energy efficiently. The Toyota Production System is a framework for conserving resources by eliminating waste. People who participate in the system learn to identify expenditures of material, effort, and time that do not generate value for customers."- Toyota Production System booklet, 1998
